Summary

My research on Niger River fisheries and marine phytoplankton-climate interactions (Eastern Tropical North Atlantic) has equipped me with a unique toolkit to study proglacial ecosystems. By combining molecular ecology, spatial analysis, and community engagement, I aim to investigate how glacier retreat reshapes alpine biodiversity while advancing conservation strategies that balance ecological and societal needs. My fluency in French and proficiency with remote sensing (NASA ARSET training), interdisciplinary research landscape.
